Many years ago -- okay, not that many -- I took a class in economics where I learned the concept of "barriers to entry." I probably learned more than that in that class (surely, right?), but this concept has stuck with me over the years and pops up when I'm considering new ventures. For those not familiar with the term, barriers to entry are exactly what they sound like: obstacles that make it difficult to enter a given market. In economics, this usually refers to starting a business or project.

When it comes to adopting a healthy lifestyle, I've noticed that organic overwhelm -- that is, confusion about what, if anything, to buy organic, and "OMG look at those prices" -- is a huge barrier to entry into the market of good health. So today, to help you overcome this organic overwhelm and help you to make better decisions about what and when to buy organic, I've broken down some myths.
